Hi everyone. I've had a lot of trouble with installing a new graphics card over the past couple of days and am really stuck for an answer. I'm upgrading from an EVGA Nvidia GTX 670 FTW to a Gigabyte GTX 980.
Firstly, I accidentally unplugged the SSD sata cable from the mobo when placing it in my PC which I didn't realise at first, and caused a huge heap of issues. Once I figured that out, my PC was extremely buggy. Kept getting BSODs each time with a different error code, eventually my PC got stuck in a restart to BSOD loop, so I put my old card back in and did a system restore to last week which seemed to work.
Cutting a long story short, once I could actually get into windows after system restore, I ran CC cleaner and it was a lot more stable. I installed the latest drivers for my old card, uninstalled everything Nvidia, restarted, ran CCleaner, shut down, installed the new card, installed new drivers, but it still doesn't work 100%
I still get crashes during software, especially games. I was trying to load Rome 2 Total war which previously worked fine, but it crashed if I did a benchmark test or loaded into the game. Xcom2 would also crash on the main menu. Now I can't even get into Rome 2 as when I open it it crashes loading up. Sometimes I get a BSOD and it's different every time, but common errors are:
-System service exception
-System thread exception not handled
Also, probably related, Geforce Experience crashes most times when I try to open it. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, does not help. Chrome too now suddenly goes "Aww, snap" in the middle of browsing some sites.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Does no difference either.
My system:
Asus MAXIMUS V GENE, Intel Z77
Intel Core i7 3770K,1155, Ivy Bridge
Samsung 500GB SSD
2TB Hitachi 0F12115 Deskstar 7K3000 HDD
LiteOn IHOS104-06 4xBlu-ray, 8x DVD
850W XFX PSU
16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance
Old GPU - EVGA Nvidia GTX 670 FTW
New GPU - Gigabyte GTX 980.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
